Stampin’ Up’s Artisan Design Team is bringing you projects from our December box again this week!  We are in full holiday mode and having so much fun!  If you have come over from amazing Jeanna, welcome to the next stop.  If you are starting here, just continue around using the next buttons until you get back to me.

So something funny happened on my way to this post…the set I used to create the project sold out!  Yes, I had created a card with Endless Wishes and it went like hot cakes.  I can see why since it is awesome!  So back to the drawing board, but yet not.  I created the exact same card using the still available Snowflake Soiree.  It is another amazing snowflake set and I just love the artwork on these!  I’m still obsessed with the silver and gold combination and they really make the card look rich.  The Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder is so gorgeous and particularly so on such an intricate stamp!  I put Silver Glimmer Paper behind the snowflake layer for an extra bit of sparkle and the Basic Rhinestones are a great finishing touch.

So the original card?  Well, I thought I should share it too since so many of you have purchased the stamp.  I have to admit that these are SOOOO much prettier in person.  I just can’t seem to capture the sparkle and depth that comes from the glitter, rhinestones and embossing.

Okay, off to go visit the awesome Mercedes Weber.  She is so extraordinary and I can’t wait to see what she has made every week!  Make sure you hop around the whole loop to take a look at beautiful creations by the whole team…you’ll be happy you did!
